Bringing the planet’s finest pizzerias to Perth
What does it take to run one of the world’s best pizza restaurants? Andrea Brunelli and Chiara Mezzasoma know a little something-something.
In March, the couple’s fresh-faced North Beach pizzeria Maestro Sourdough Pizza once again featured in 50 Top Pizza’s Asia-Pacific rankings. (Maestro is WA’s sole representative on the list and this is its fourth appearance on the rankings.)
While pizza aficionados know that the elegant Naples-style pies at Maestro are worth travelling for, fans have even more reason to head north this winter: the inaugural Pizza Week, an Antipodean pizzeria shuffle that sees 11 50 Top Pizza-certified restaurants from Australia and New Zealand each take turns to create a pizza special that every participant will serve for one week only.
Some of the other pizzerias involved in this caper include Melbourne’s 48h Pizza e Gnocchi Bar, Sydney’s Al Taglio and Napoli Contemporanea in Auckland. Pizza Week runs till mid-August. Visit the Pizza Week website for more details.
